After the government and the people from Linlang Consulting all left, Zhou Qi directly summoned the leaders of all departments to a meeting in the conference room.

Luo Baofeng was a man who rose to prominence in the last century. People like him valued grand displays, so this conference room was not of low standard. The wood of the table was clearly expensive, and the chairs were also very luxurious.

It was a pity they were made of hard wood, and Zhou Qi disliked that the most.

"In the future, replace all these chairs with soft ones!" Zhou Qi said.

"Okay..." Secretary Lu Youyou immediately wrote it down in her notebook.

Luo Baofeng had just hired her this year. She graduated from the finance department of South China University, not only with excellent grades and scholarships every year, but she was also very beautiful, with a perfect height of 1.65 meters.

"Wait..." Zhou Qi thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm not the factory director, and this is the only meeting we'll have today. As for the chairs, let's leave it to Yibing..."

"Yes!" Lu Youyou continued to nod.

Sitting in the main seat, Yibing sat next to him, listening to Lu Youyou introduce the basic situation of Baofeng Pharmaceutical Factory.

"Baofeng Pharmaceutical Factory has a total of fourteen departments: Production, Quality Control, Packaging, Transportation, Finance, Sales, Operations, Media, Human Resources, Audit, Security, Design, Training, and Research Institute. The Operations, Media, and Design departments share an office and have a total of 6 people. The Human Resources department staff also handle training, with a total of 3 people. The Security department staff also handle auditing, with a total of 9 people. The Sales department has 6 people, the Finance department has 4 people, and the Transportation department has 12 people. Production, Quality Control, and Packaging are all in one workshop, with personnel flowing between them and not fixed. These three departments also have the largest number of employees, with a current total of 433 people."

"In addition, the factory has two canteens, two internet cafes, and a supermarket, all outsourced to external merchants. Staff such as dorm managers and cleaners are from labor dispatch companies."

Knock, knock... A knock sounded at the door. The three looked up and saw a girl standing outside the door, wearing a school uniform similar to Wang Xinling's, with pigtails and a delicate, beautiful face. Behind her stood two male office workers whose looks were not worth mentioning.

"Come in!" Zhou Qi responded, then looked at Lu Youyou: "Introduce them."

"Introduce yourselves!" Lu Youyou turned and said.

...I asked you to introduce them!

But this is fine too.

Turning to the three, the beautiful girl spoke first.

"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I am Lu Xiaowan, Minister of the Media Department."

"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I am Luo Guangjie, Minister of the Operations Department."

"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I am Luo Ming, Minister of the Design Department."

This department was the closest to the conference room, so they arrived first.

"What does the Media Department do?" Zhou Qi asked.

"The Media Department is responsible for utilizing our company's self-media accounts across the entire network to expand the company's influence and increase potential customers!" Lu Xiaowan quickly replied: "Currently, our company's accounts on Douyin, Kuaishou, Watermelon, and Bilibili have reached a total of 300,000 followers, and it is still growing. It is expected to bring considerable traffic to the company..."

"No, we sell medicine, do we need this?" Zhou Qi was stunned: "We are a B2B company, right..."

"We also have medications for consumers, such as digestive tablets, hawthorn pills, and Rehmannia pills, as well as daily necessities like thermometers and night lights." Lu Xiaowan was speechless. You're the new boss, don't you know what our company does?

But she didn't know the temper of this new boss, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous and answered honestly.

Zhou Qi's eyelids drooped, and he saw Lu Xiaowan's nude stockings.

Is she dancing on the account? After all, Teacher Banfo said that black stockings are humanity's best friend, and the safest way to gain followers for an operating company account is to dance in stockings.

As if sensing Zhou Qi's gaze, Lu Xiaowan deliberately pulled her legs out from under the chair and crossed them.

Cough cough...

Zhou Qi was speechless. It's not that I'm attracted to your legs, I just think that stockings might have a good market on One Piece!

"Well, you two, what's your relationship with our former factory director?" Zhou Qi looked at the two surnamed Luo.

"We are both his nephews..." Luo Guangjie and Luo Ming replied with distressed expressions. They could already foresee their future, and their answers were very difficult.

Zhou Qi nodded and saw someone else arriving at the door.

"Come in!"

"Chairman Zhou, I am Xu Shiqin, Deputy Minister of the Human Resources Department." This was a beautiful woman wearing black-rimmed glasses with a melon-seed shaped face. Judging by her age, she might only be 20 years old?

What's going on with this company? So many beautiful women. There must be something wrong with the Luo family!

"Where is your minister?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Uh, the minister was fired by Director Luo this morning!" Thinking that this might not be clear enough, Xu Shiqin added: "Minister Luo is Director Luo's biological brother..."

"What relative is the Finance Minister to Director Luo?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Uh, it's Director Luo's wife. She was also fired..." Xu Shiqin replied.

Zhou Qi was speechless: "Fired, and probably with triple severance pay, right?"

Xu Shiqin forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying: "It's ten times..."

Luo Baofeng, damn you! You're still trying to drain my money as you leave!

"You two, why weren't you fired?" Zhou Qi looked at Luo Baofeng's two nephews.

"Uh..." Luo Ming shook his head: "I don't know..."

"Alright!" Zhou Qi waved his hand: "Xu Shiqin, handle their resignations, and then investigate which relatives of Luo Baofeng are in the company. All the distant and close relatives, anyone related, send them away! Use the same standard as exterminating nine generations of a clan."

"Uh..." Xu Shiqin was speechless. This was a huge task!

But if I'm the one to do it, does that mean I have a chance with the Human Resources Department?

"Also, call the deputy ministers of these two departments over for a meeting!"

Luo Guangjie and Luo Ming didn't say any harsh words and got up to leave with Xu Shiqin. In an instant, only four people were left in the office.

Zhou Qi tapped the table and looked at Lu Xiaowan, "Are you also his relative!"

"Uh, no!" Lu Xiaowan quickly shook her head, "I was recruited through the regular campus recruitment process and have no relation to the Luo family."

"Nanan Medical College?" Zhou Qi asked.

"No, it's Nanhai Media University, the Broadcasting and Hosting Department!" Lu Xiaowan said, "I have two other people in my department, they are my juniors."

Luo Baofeng wanted to put his relatives in this department too, but no one in his family understood this field.

"I see..." Zhou Qi nodded, "However, our company might not need this department in the future..."

"Huh?" Lu Xiaowan's face immediately looked wronged. She had been dancing and recording videos just ten minutes ago, and now she heard she was going to be unemployed?

This is too tragic, no! I just bought an iPhone 13 on installment, and I still owe over 20,000 yuan on Huabei that hasn't been paid off.

"The company's business focus and direction will be adjusted going forward. Those digestive tablets you mentioned, hawthorn, um..." Looking at Lu Xiaowan's wronged expression and teary big eyes, he unexpectedly felt a pang of sympathy.

No, is this what they mean by even heroes fall for beauties? What kind of media department, ruining my grand plans! I need to keep a low profile!

"Are these snacks you mentioned tasty?"

Lu Xiaowan was waiting for her sentence, but unexpectedly, the situation turned from severe to lenient. In an instant, she felt like she had been reborn and quickly nodded heavily, "They're delicious, extremely delicious! The design department spent a long time researching and finalizing these flavors. They sell very well online. Would you like to try some?"

"Then let's try them. Bring more over, everyone at the meeting gets some!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Qi turned to Zhou Yibing, "I think this media department is quite suitable for placing people, and there are snacks too. What do you think?"

"I understand!" Brother Bing patted Zhou Qi's shoulder, "I like looking at pretty girls too, but before you get tempted, you should probably think about that Okinawan girl who traveled thousands of miles to find you..."

"You're kidding me, I already said she's just a friend..."

"I don't care if you're interested in my sister, as long as you're not afraid of your mom breaking your legs..."

Zhou Qi wanted to roll his eyes.

Just then, Lu Xiaowan came over carrying a bag of hawthorn slices, followed by a man and a woman. The man wore glasses and spoke softly, exuding a bit of a fresh meat vibe. The girl was probably less than 1.50 meters tall, also petite and delicate.

This media department is a bit terrifying, their looks are threatening me!

Zhou Qi tore open the bag and took out a slice, but quickly changed from picking one to grabbing a handful, and stuffed them into his mouth.

He had wanted to eat them like this for a long time, but he was too poor before and couldn't afford them. Now, he finally got his wish.

Tsk, they are indeed delicious!
